Thanks. This lens is clearly much better than a heavy and large lens that I would not want to use (let alone the price, I have to wait till I can afford a Sherpa ).Uwe, you and Mark are definitely demonstrating how to get the best out of this lens.

Great shot. I wouldn't be a fat goose this close to Christmas!First pic with 100-300. it arrived thurs. so I went out and gave it a shot.
Ooc, no pp.
G-1 iso 400.
Interesting to see it work here. I'm unconvinced so far when usuing OIS with the lens and it even states in the manual it may be of little use.Glenn -
Nice kitten shot.....handheld at 1/15.
I have heard comments that the OIS doesn't make that big a difference at 300mm.
What do you think?

The OIS isn't perfect but it does help a bit, I read somewhere that using Mode 2 works better with this lens but I haven't had a chance to try it yet as it's so dull here just now.Glenn -

I'm a bit confused as to what my viewfinder is telling me when I have the OIS switched on with this lens. The green 'shaking hand' appears but when I press down on the shutter button to focus and meter, the hand invariably turns from green to red. I assume this indicates that for some reason the OIS cannot cope?The OIS isn't perfect but it does help a bit, I read somewhere that using Mode 2 works better with this lens but I haven't had a chance to try it yet as it's so dull here just now.
I can't get mine to do that (on a G1). However in certain conditions the green hand turns to a shaking red camera. Does the aperture and shutter speed also flash red in the bottom of your viewfinder? If so, it might suggest that at the settings being used, the camera and not just the OIS, is not able to produce a good image.I'm a bit confused as to what my viewfinder is telling me when I have the OIS switched on with this lens.
